<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aurelianus, post: 4656985, member: 57700&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>Couple of coin cleaning questions.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. You may remember this Probus from an earlier post I made...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1149415[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I am cleaning it with distilled water; letting it soak for 24-48 hours, switching the water and brushing the coin with a cut-down toothbrush. Repeat. Some sand is slowly coming off to expose silvering underneath but there are also some hard encrustations staying put. I know this can take a very long time with distilled water... but how long should I continue? Should I consider olive oil/other stuff?</p><p><br /></p><p>2. I also have this Diocletian with some light green stuff. Worried it will eat away at the coin. Is there a strategy to remove or just leave it as is? </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1149421[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks everyone![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
